    Jeet Heer Retweeted Tom Scocca

    This is true and very weird because non-college rich people run one of the two major political parties, which currently controls the presidency, Senate & courts. Yet this class is invisible in meritocratic discourse.https://twitter.com/tomscocca/status/1320741825955696640 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Most complaints about what Media Elites don't understand are straw-man nonsense but for real the coastal meritocrats are totally unable to grasp the existence and political strength of non-college rich people

        Yeah, "run" only in the sense of "form the largest single voting bloc of." Which is not at all the same thing.

        Bingo! What we have here is the business class versus the professional class. Trump embodies the myth that with "gumption" a White male should be rich. Of course Trump is just opposite; a mindless wealthy scion who lost a fortune.

        non-college-educated rich white people *think* they run the GOP. The people who actually run it went to Yale.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @portraitinflesh

        It seems like my entire state and local government are people who own car dealerships and land and fast-food franchises. At best, they went to Kansas State. Most likely, they never finished college, and have never really had a job other than working at the family business.

        Need something from the government? Buy a new car.
